How did you get my number?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other end of the line, Lina Gerk was stunned speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’He... didn’t recognize my voice at all, did he?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Did he forget that quickly?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since she won the first season of *Germany’s Next Topmodel* in 2006, she had become famous in Germany and joined German supermodel Heidi Krumm’s company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since then, almost everywhere she went, people would ask for her number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And she rarely gave out her personal number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let alone be the one to proactively make the call, like she was now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The awkward part was, his tone made it sound like he had no idea who she was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Oh, great. So when we \"exchanged numbers,\" I was the only one who actually saved it? Is that what this means?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lina Gerk could already picture the look on Wang Shuo’s face as he answered a call from an unknown number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she had to quickly introduce herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was certain that if she didn’t, Wang Shuo would just hang up on her as a spam call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s me, Lina Gerk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To make matters worse, Wang Shuo on the other end really couldn’t remember. He thought for a moment, then repeated the name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lina... Gerk?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Lina Gerk feel an urge to spit blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I’m 1.79 meters tall, we hugged yesterday, and you have no impression of me at all?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, just before she had a complete breakdown, Wang Shuo finally remembered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, it’s you! Sorry, I forgot to save your name. I’ll do it in a bit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Shuo was quite frank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lina Gerk felt like crying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Can someone please tell me why I made this damn phone call?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anyway, have you seen this morning’s news?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lina Gerk explained what had happened that morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Wang Shuo felt it was necessary, she could issue a statement explaining they were just filming a show together and it was all for dramatic effect, nothing more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s fine. I’m a professional player. My performance in the game is what matters. I don’t care about this stuff,\" Wang Shuo said with a nonchalant laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a king like Barça’s Messi, when he was just starting out, went on TV shows and got his crotch grabbed, his butt groped, and was molested—er, wait, no, forcefully hugged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Shuo just got a hug from a beautiful woman and a bit of gossip. It was no big deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, it was hard to say who was really getting the short end of the stick here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, do you need me to clarify anything for you?\" Wang Shuo asked in return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, it’s fine. The more you try to explain these things, the worse it looks. Besides, if we’re going to be in a scandal together, I’m the one benefiting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After everything was cleared up, their conversation came to an abrupt halt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Shuo used the excuse that it was time for training and took the initiative to hang up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lina Gerk stared at her phone screen in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This guy is unbelievable, isn’t he?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’He really isn’t willing to say a single extra word.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Shuo really did have to go to training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Axel Busenkel was the type of person who hated it when people were late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially when he was putting in extra time to train with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when Wang Shuo opened the door, he saw two people crouched outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the hell? What are you guys doing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Shuo jumped in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eavesdropping. Can’t you tell?\" Subotic answered, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Eavesdropping?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Holy hell, you guys are so damn shameless about it.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Schürrle, full of gossipy spirit, chimed in from the side, asking, \"Who were you just on the phone with?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"None of your damn business.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Wang Shuo headed for the bathroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the two pests followed him the whole way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Was it Lina Gerk?\" Subotic guessed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Schürrle was even more of a gossip. \"Calling so early in the morning, with such a cozy tone... are you two actually dating?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How is that possible? I’ve only met her once.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then it must be love at first sight,\" Subotic clapped approvingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Shuo looked utterly defeated. \"Neven, I finally understand why Antic won’t call you up to the Serbian National Team.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why?\" Subotic was taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because you’re not right in the head.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Shuo closed the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After washing his face and brushing his teeth, he came out to find the two door gods were still there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on, tell us about you and Lina Gerk,\" Schürrle pleaded, his face a mask of envy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know who she is?\" Wang Shuo found it a bit strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Probably every young person in Germany and Austria knows her. She’s the next world-level supermodel, after all,\" Schürrle was exaggerating a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subotic added, \"Heidi Krumm’s successor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the second time Wang Shuo had heard the name Heidi Krumm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in Munich, an older woman named Jessica had mentioned her in passing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who’s Heidi Krumm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subotic and Schürrle stopped in their tracks. They looked at each other, completely baffled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’He lives in Germany and doesn’t know who Heidi Krumm is?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then again, this was exactly the kind of thing Wang Shuo would do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the day he joined Mainz until now, he basically spent all his time training, apart from eating and sleeping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The most famous supermodel in Germany. The model from the ’06 World Cup, the one who got really famous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Shuo said, \"Oh,\" having a vague impression but not really remembering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t really care, either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lina Gerk is gorgeous, has a great body, is 1.79 meters tall, and most importantly, has the golden ratio...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Schürrle got more and more excited as he spoke, until Subotic had to jab him with an elbow, reminding him to rein it in and wipe his drool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry, it’s admiration! Admiration!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Shuo scoffed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Men... I can’t be bothered with you guys!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what Wang Shuo never could have expected was that when he got to the Mainz gym and met Axel Busenkel, the man’s very first words to him were...\u003C\u002Fp>",1038,"2026-05-30T11:12:32.829Z","2026-06-01T04:31:05.348Z",1,"novelbin.me","f971c65cb8ce83013f709347e051934d117cc9eff34278047ea73acd028557d0","the-god-of-football-starts-with-passive-skills-chapter-10","the-god-of-football-starts-with-passive-skills-chapter-9",400,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-god-of-football-starts-with-passive-skills-cover.jpg"]
